Higher Education Commission Pakistan encourages development of innovative companies, startups, and spin-offs to stimulate and support economic growth through rigorous incubation process. The Business Incubation Centers (BICs) program aims to facilitate young and budding entrepreneurs through administrative, consulting, and networking services with provision of in-expensive startup spaces. The BICs are active players for creation of new jobs, and revival of innovative communities.
